> Add __init attribute on a function that is only called from other __init > functions and that is not inlined, at least with gcc version 4.8.4 on an > x86 machine with allyesconfig. Currently, the function is put in the > .text.unlikely segment. Declaring it as __init will cause it to be put in > the .init.text and to disappear after initialization. > > The result of objdump -x on the function before the change is as follows: > > 0000000000000000 l F .text.unlikely 00000000000000e4 cmd640x_init_one > > And after the change it is as follows: > > 00000000000000d2 l F .init.text 00000000000000df cmd640x_init_one > > Done with the help of Coccinelle. The semantic patch checks for local > static non-init functions that are called from an __init function and are > not called from any other function. > > Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia.law...@lip6.fr> Applied.
